SHIPPING AND DISPLAY BOX.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 9 1915.

Application filed January 13, 1913, Serial No. 741,823. Renewed-July 30,1914. Serial No. 854,168.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BYRON B. GOLDSMITH, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shipping andDisplay Boxes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will en ableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame.

My present invention relates to an improved form of box, for'shippingand dis-, playing pencils, penholders, or other articles of a shapesuitable for display in the manner hereinafter described.

' Preferred forms of the device are illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, wherein Figure l is a perspective view of a box containingpencils, Fig. 2 is a central section of the same and'Fig. 3 is a'sideview of a modification of the improved box.

The box in question comprises three parts. Two of these parts, shown at10 and 11 are hinged together in any well known manner, and are soformed that, when brought in line as shown in Fig. 2,-they form acontinuous container of uniform cross section, preferably rectangularand preferably closed at one end. The third part is an inner slide 12,adapted to be pushed into the open end of the outer container, and topass through the part 10 and project into'the part 11'.

The pencils, or other articles carried, lie

within the inner slide.

When the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 2, the inner slidekeeps the parts 10 and 11 firmly in line, and a strong stifl box isproduced which is well fitted for shipping purposes. At the same time,when these boxes are received by the retailer, they permit attractiveexhibition of the contents on a counter without their transfer, .Toaccomplish. this, the slide is sufiiciently withdrawn to permit theparts 10 and 11 to move relative to each other around their hinge 13,after which the slide 12 is again pushed home, until the articles 14:pro ect into view, when the whole can be set up in easel form, as shownin Fig. 1. In this position,-the projectings'lide 12 prevents collapseof the easel. Of course the whole can be restored instantly to shippingposition at any time.

In the form shown in Fig. 1, the, sepa ration between the parts 10 and11 is made upon a line oblique to the length of the box.

Various changes can be made in the construction of this box, and, asillustrative of suchchanges, I have shown a box in Fig. 3, wherein theline of division is at right angles to the length of the box. Also it isnot as sential that either end of the outer container should be closed.

What I claim is-,

l. A combined shipping box and display frame, comprising a containermade in two parts movable angularly with respect to each other, and aninner slide fitting said container and made long enough to slide throughone of the parts of said container and project into the other part,substan tially as described.

2. A combined shipping box and display frame consisting of a containermade of two parts hinged together, and an inner slide fitting saidcontainer and long enough to slide through one of said parts andinto theother, substantially as described.

3. A combined shipping box and display frame consisting of a containermade of two parts hinged together, one of which is closed at its outerend only, and the other of which is open at both ends, and an innerslide adapted to hold said parts in 'alinement when slipped into theopen end ofone part and caused to project into the other part,

substantially as described. I,

4. A display package, comprising a tray and a separable jacket intowhich said tray is adapted to slip lengthwise having a pin rality ofsections movably joined end to end together to permit of placing one ofthem at an angle below said tray and supporting it while the adjacentsection embraces it.

5. A display package, comprising a tray and a separable jacket intowhich said tray removed from said tray to swing down support said trayin inclined position while said tray is projecting upwardly from theothersection. i Q H 7-. A display package comprising a tray, a

jacket into whichsaid tray is" adapted to,

slip longitudinally, said jackethaying a pair of, sectionshingedend toend together, the 'jo'intbetween said sections being at an angle,

whereby one section is adapted whensaid tray is withdrawntherefrom'andleft projecting upwardly from the other section, to
